Bethlehem is busy, busy, busy with preparations for the day of the approaching census. Watching the excitement and directing the crowds is a little soldier sent to Bethlehem by Caesar Augustus. He loves to organise everybody and thinks that nothing could be more important than being in charge. So when Mary and Joseph arrive late, the little soldier is initially very cross, but something changes and he can’t understand why. He forgets all about organising – could it be because a very special baby is about to be born?

Includes 7 memorable songs in this nativity story by Niki Davies.
